game by game not only the averages please...
...........maybe if everyone sees that he had an off game or two like Mr. Hill, they will step back from the ledge.

Tony was elated to be selected by San Antonio. Wasting no time, he signed and flew to Colorado to play for the Spurs in the Rocky Mountain Revue, a summer league for NBA hopefuls. In four games, he averaged 18 points, nine assists, four rebounds and two steals. Just as impressive was the way he adjusted to his new surroundings, on and off the court. Tony wasn't the least bit bothered by the pace of play or size of his opponents. He also blended easily into American culture. The Spurs began to wonder whether they had lucked into a potential superstar
"potential superstar"
well, the Spurs had to settle, so far, just for a Finals MVP and PG through 3 les.
Damn!!! .............nevermind, go ahead and jump yall!!!
I could only find the actual individual game stats for Tony Parker for his very first summer league game.
Game 1 vs. Cleveland: 29 pts (10/18 FG, 7-9 FT), 5 reb, 4 ass, 4 steals
damn I love Tony Parker.
CIA Pop.......
Can't find the boxes, but here are recaps of all the games from the '01 RMR:

Makes you remember how spurs are blessed having picked TP and Manu.
why the are people comparing Hill to parker... nobody has said hes going to be a ing all star.. hes a developing back up point guard.. and will prolly be more effective on the wing
I've seen damn near every game Hill's played in his life... and hes rarely ever played the role they are having him play... i would think playing against atleast some NBA talent at such a critical position as point for the first time...would be tough.. i have a question... was parker a pure point when he got to summer league..?
parker is a pure baller (scorer) who can pass, but doesn't need to. George just needs to let loose and score. Forget trying to facilitate.
rookie Parker was a freak. a kid that you could pass the ball on the break in a big playoff game and he will make that basket.
we will be lucky if Hill is 50% what parker is
As re ed as this thread is...somehow I knew it was coming.
I'm amazed at how quickly people have already judged and "given up" on the Spurs new prospects.
Question: Where is Charles Smith aka. the Spider Man these days?
Surely he must be an allstar by now...he had 35 pts. in his 3rd NBDL game
No one is giving up on Hill. He's been disappointing in his first 2 summer league games, but that's it.
TP pretty much wowed everybody from the word "go". But the Spurs were lucky with TP.
i agree with this although ive never seen hill games outside of the 2 summer league. he needs to embrace the situation rather than try to impress, he should have a bounce back game no doubt.
I think the issue here is what they want George to do. As one poster said, this is the fist time he has seen George do what he is doing right now. So lets wait and see if he can adjust. I'm pretty sure the coaches want to see how far they can move George from one end to the other.
I have no worries. Hill will settle down once he gets an earful from Pop
TP was playing in french professional basketball league when he was drafted by the Spurs !
He was a pro, playing against pro !!!
Besides, TP was a true PG in french league...
George Hill was a SG in college, he needs to learn a new position, the most difficult position in basketball. And he has new teammates...
It takes time.
You can't do that in 2 games.
What do we want from Hill for his 1st year with Spurs.
4-5 pts 2-3 ast 2-3 reb in 15 min.
Come on, let the kid take some time to develop.
This is why 100% and beyond a shadow of a doubt the kid needs to play the year in the NBDL. Pop is one who screwed the pooch when he said this kid could help immediately on both ends of the floor.
i dont think pop would say those things if he wasnt fully sure he could contribute alot for the team.
this is PreZ PoP
Yeah, that's a good point except he's here to play PG so playing Wing isn't really an ideal situation.
